Today was my birthday. Although it is not really a special day for me, and I was rejected for an invitation for a date (watching movie only) with my dream girl. I do not wish to reveal her name, but I guess most of my friends know who she is.
My birthday starts with an sms greeting from my best friend. Honestly, I did not expect him to send me any greetings, but he did it anyway. I am so surprised and I am happy. This followed by loads of greetings on Facebook, even my TaeKwon-Do instructor greeted me as well.
In the morning, I went to school as usual. Today was the first day of school after a week's break. Test results were released today. My results were not surprisingly good. This is expected as I did not spend a lot of time studying math and pa. However, I am glad that my Physics results was not bad. I got a solid A (93 marks) for my Physics. This is the first time I get a mark higher than 90 in form 6. I am going to keep it up. I will make sure all my subjects get an A during the real STPM. This is what it matters the most. To all my friends who had helped me before, I am glad that I had your helps, without them, I would still be someone who is good at nothing.
Today reminds me of myself in the past. In the past, I was all into studying, neglecting my social life and the others. After studying in 6RS2 for half a year, knowing friends whom I did not often talk to, I have changed. I have became a person who knows the way to enjoy life. I go out for food and movies quite often now. I even went all the way to Gurney for a movie which I am not sure whether there are tickets left. I think I have became a little matured this way. Although it is much money-spending than before, but I feel quite good about it. I do not think that I have wasted the money, instead, I used it to buy 'something' I should have bought a long time ago. That something is called friendship. I might look hard-to-approach, but in fact, I believe that it is my attitude towards the others. Now, I am able to think of others as the same as I am, if not better than I am. Maybe this is the reason they are now willing to talk to me.
As for driving experience, I believe I have also 'level-ed up'. In the past, I would have just stick behind cars even though they are slow. Now, I am ready to overtake other cars whenever there is an opening. I would go for any openings between cars if I want. I have also tried to push my car to run at 5000rpm. With that, my car can gain quite an amount of power during low gears. It would just speed up whenever I step harder on the pedal. I know that this will consume more petrol, so I only drive that way whenever I am in a rush. I hope that it will not cause any trouble to myself and the others.
I wish that I can go through this year safe and sound. I hope that I will be safe throughout the whole year. As for STPM, I wish that I can do it with a minimal effort during the examination. I want a 4.0 for my STPM and a band 6 for my MUET. For my computer, I do not expect much this year, a printer with scanner maybe...unless I get a fortune suddenly then I will buy a good graphics card along with G25/G27 gaming wheel. Car...I want a good car with a good audio system. The power of the car should not be too small. A kancil's power is not enough to amaze me. I wish for a VIOS-like car (the shape). It seems that I am too greedy on my wishes...hahaha...I don't know whether it can be fulfilled, but I will make my dream of STPM 4.0 come true.

A Manga Moment
Today, I think it could be counted as today, it was at 12.57am after all, I finished a series of manga. It is called 'Ichigo 100%'. This manga has a total of 167 chapters, each filled with different kind of excitement. I do not deny that it sometimes contain a little ecchi and harem scene, but that is the essence that made this manga a success. It describes a variety of personalities, from a quiet style, to a full-going style. In this manga, the main character, Manaka Junpei （マナか淳平）also shows an indecisive personality. I do not know whether this kind of personality occurs in most of the people or it is just me, but I am sure that I am similar to him, except in the way that there are many girls clinging onto him.
The story starts with the main character, Manaka Junpei crosses the sign stating 'no entry' to the roof of the school building. There he saw a beautiful scene of sunset. (I think it's sunset.) Suddenly a girl, a sweet girl, a pretty girl (I do not know how to describe anymore.) fell down from the 'sky'. In that fall, the main character got a glance on the strawberry panties of the girl. In a panic, the girl ran away leaving her math notebook behind. The main character picked up the notebook and intended to return it to the girl. Upon returning according to the name written on the notebook, he found that the girl with the name Toujou Aya （東城綾） (written on the notebook) was a plain girl who looks like a nerd. (I like that style though, seems more talkable) After being told not to read the contents of the notebook, the main character got curious and started reading. There he found a short novel written by Toujou. Toujou seems to be not having confidence about her work when Manaka told her that she has the talent. Manaka told her that he is going to become a film producer. (or director, I forgot...lol) At that time, Toujou fell for Manaka, but instead of knowing her love for himself, Manaka confessed to another girl named Tsukasa Nishino. Manaka who has poor grades asked Toujou to help him in studying for the entrance exam for Izumizaka High. At that entrance exam, Manaka finds that Toujou is the girl he saw on the rooftop, and started falling for her. The story goes on with more and more new characters.
When I was reading near the ending, I was thinking that this manga might not end properly in a well manner. However, the main character made a choice and be together with Tsukasa Nishino. I was hoping that he will get together with Toujou Aya since they are both friendly to each other, but that choice given by the author was the best for everyone. Manaka is definitely unable to go into university with his poor grades. If he is with Toujou, who is an author who won an award for her novel, this might causes Toujou to be unable to pursue her own dream to become a successful author. For the best, Manaka gave up on his first love and chose Tsukasa. However, Tsukasa leaves for Paris to study on pastry making. Everyone goes into separate ways although they were together being the best friends. This taught me that even though I like being together with my friends, I should not follow what my friends do but make my own decision. This is for my own sake. After a few years, everyone gathers and is revealed that each of them became matured and are doing their best in their on path of career. I wish that I could be the same. There will be a time where I have to be separated with my friends to pursue my own dream. And after a few years, I hope that each of us can gather with a higher level of maturity and successfulness.
I know it might be frightening to ask someone to read a manga with 167 chapters when we are having STPM exam this year. However, if you are into manga, and not knowing what manga to read, just read up Ichigo 100% and I believe that it will satisfy you.
